The Mrs and I ran up last night for a couple of hours. That’s all I can do for now. I tanked 200. She I think missed a hold and caught a Royal. Pic attached. I think that being it’s an 8/5 game, maybe she DID though not on purpose make the correct hold. I didn’t factor in the ULT X strategy however. Most importantly, she got it and times 2!!!
Anyone feel free to chime in on the hold situation.

Sorry OMT, I just know it was 4 to a regular flush, but I don’t know what the other 2 cards were. I neglected to mention that above.

Congrats Mrs Olds. In normal DDB, holding those three to the royal instead of four to a regular flush, is the correct strategy.

She should have replied, “Hold my beer, loser!”
